To Southern Home. Seekers.

The advance in price of Western lands, the
increased severity Of Northern winters, and
the consequent high price of fuel, has turned
the attention Of farmers, home-seekers, aud
others of delicate constitution to the mild eli
mate, cheap fuel, and low priced lands Of the
South. Northern farmers unacquainted with
sugar-cane and cotton growing, have asked
the question, Why cannot fruit-growing and
stock raising be made to pay in the South?
To discuss these questions, so important to
those seeking homes in the South, agricul+
ural conventions have been held of late In
Tennessee, Mississippi, and Louisiana, sod 1t
has boon proven beyondHa doubt that aiversl-
fed farming can be carried on in the Ssuth even
more probably than in the North. Lands are
being seeded down, creamerie, built, and
Northern methods Of farming 1ulte, generally
introduced. The result OF ali this has turned
the tide OF emigration Ssuth ward, anu the
Illinois Central Rallroad, the direct line be-
tween Chicago and New Orleans, and the d.
rect route to the principal markets Of the
South, West. and North, have shown their
confidence in the agricultural possi bilities Of
the South by niming Me following conven-
lent land points, viz: Jackson, Tenn Aber-
deem and Jackson, Mss, and Hammond, La.
These point. have been selected as . con-
venience to connecting lines in the sale of

How Little Children Suffer.

Nobody knows how much little child
rem sometimes suffer at the hands OF
the ~unprincipled persons to whom they
are too often ignorantly intrusted.
More than one fatal attack Of brain dis
ease has been directly traced to o dose of
opium given by an INSCRIPTIONS nurse
to quiet q crying child; many a child
has caught its death from exposure to a
hot sun or a cold wind in its perambu-
lator while its careless nurse gossiped
with lover or friend, or read dime
novels in the public parks, and last but
not least, many q nervous child has
been injured for life by the nursery
h~mgaboos with which it has been terri
fled into submission and quiet; not al
ways by the nurse.
The mother who never bathes and
dresses her baby, who does not nurse il
aud who sleeps away from it in another
room loses much OF it's sweetness, and
both she and her child are to be pitied.
"There is Il medium in all things" and
while no woman is called upon to make
q slave Of herself to her child indeed
he doing SC is a positive injury to both
still she has no right to give the
sacred charge over to hirelings, and
consider her maternal duty discharged
when she pays their wages. -Mrs. M
r. Handy, M Boston Globe.

"We meet some queer meh and
some queer Incidents in our business, "
said the officer of an express company.
"We have many applications fer posi-
tons, and every one of these is required
to answer o list of questions about his
age, his previous service, if any, his
family, etc. One Of the questions is
"Were you v e discharged" One
dsy--that was several years ago-a
young fellow was in applying for a
place. He had OH honest, bright face,
q good eye, and l rather liked his APP
pearance. When l came to that ques-
ton, Were you cver discharged?' he
stopped with q queer expression on his
~countenance, and, after some hesita-
ton, inquired:
Must / answer that question:
Certainly. Were You ever dis
charged?'
"'Yes, SIR
"'Where from?
From the penitentiary.'
"This was q startler, and came near
taking my breath away. But I COM
pleted the list Of questions, filed his
application. and sent him away. Then
I looked up his record. He had in
deed been o convict, found guilty of
burglary of a saloon along with some
other FOSTERING companion. But there
was something about the fellow which
1 liked, and a few weeks later l gave
him a place ~ a porter. From that
time he has been successfully promoted
until now he is a messenger on n of
our most important routes, handling
hundreds of thousands of dollars every
run. There is not q more trustworthy
man in our service. "--Erchange.

Ready to Die,

Most people want to live. When the
ills of life Cypress them they think Of
the rest of the grave with a feeling akin
to longing, but are like the man who
was carrying q heavy load of sticks,
and much worried called upon Death
to relieve him. Death came, with his
scythe, and stood ready to receive
orders from the poor fellow. But when
he saw his wish about to be gratified
he shrank in terror. and life looked
fairer to him. II only called you to
help me up with my bundle of sticks
again" he said to Death. And shout
dering his burden he was glad to pur-
his way once more.
The people of Southern Indiana per-
haps remember . woman who made the
confession before all the world once at
q camp-meeting that she was happy
enough to die.
The preacher, after a thrilling ex.
hortation, called upon all who were
perfectly happy to rise. Everybody
got up. Then he said: "All who love
the Lord, are perfectly happy and
want to die and 60 to Heaven remain
standing. The rest may sit down"
A gaunt creature. with hollow eyes,
and closely wrapped in a faded shawl,
remained alone OF all the congregation.
She was the exhorter's fifth wife.-De-

How Near He Came to killing HIS HOST IN

It ia we'll known that Judge Allen while
he was upon the bench was slow 10 accept
circumstantial evidence in criminal cases AZ
conclusive Of guilt until 1t was corroDorased
beyond all preadventure, says the Colum-
bus (Ga.) Enquirer. Sun. Few people
knew the reason why, but We heard it from
his own lips. At the time Of the occurrence
he was presiding judge OF the southern
home in Decatur County, sonne years after
he had retired from the bench, he related
his experience. He said:
I'm those days it was somewhat different
from what it is now. / remember once
while riding my circuit as it is called, that
I met with an experience that made o deep
impression upon me. had ridden all day
and into the night, when l drew up at an
uninviting house and asked to spend the
night. The man grufly told me that l
could do so, and 1 was almost sorry that ne
had not said nc On entering the house l
went into q room alone and heard low NUT
tering voices in the next room. The stu
alton was anything but agreeable, and my
speculations as to the surroundings made
it exceedingly unpleasant. But bedtime
came, and / was invited up q rickety flight
OF stairs and into q room in the loft OF enc
house. I retired but not to sleep. Inc
mumbling voices could still be heard, ana
a red. handed murder stared me IN the lace.
About midnight / heard someone creeping
mn the stairs. shd in a moment the door to
INV room was quietly pushed open. In the
door GOOD a man with a butcher knife in
bis hand. I had taken the %precaution TO
get out of the bed, and had taken my posi-
ton under it when I beard him coming, re-
solved to sell my life as dearly as possible.
/ held a pistol in my hand but some influ-
ence kept me from firing. Presently the
man walked easily with a cat like tread, to
the farther corner of the oon, and vito
the long knife cut something suspended
from the roof, and as quietly stole back
and down stairs"
But you solved the mystery" We que
ried.
"Oh, yes. The next morning l was in
vited into the breakfast room, and for the
first time saw the lady Of the house. She
excused herself for her absence on the
night lefore by saying that their little
daughter wal on what they thought to be
her death bed. She ~apologized for the
want of attention to me, and said that her
husband was forced to go into my oom il
order to get some herbs with which to make
medicine for the sick child, and which they
had forgotten to get before night. What il
HAD sh OF and killed that man? 1t makes
me shudder to think of it."

A Story from Green River.

story over at Nick O'Brien's grocery the
other morning. He thereupon proceeded
10 disgorge this lurid tale: Once when he
lived IN Ohio he observed Ills valuable bird
dog acting strangely. Securing the dog by
a stout chain to o young tree he waited to
see what would come of it. In less than
two hours the dog was raving mad. He
few at the young tree and bit it furiously
in a dozen places. The dog soon died.
In about three weeks the tree went mad.

climbed up four flights of stairs in a moi
some tenement house on his erraDi. His
tap at the door was answered by Phillips
Brooks with a baby in his arms. Inquiry
revealed the fact that the woman had been
very sick and sorely needed fresh air, but

1he Care q ~ Hard.

All the English Processes ~ well -
the Queen herself, have remarkably
beautiful hands, white, with rosy nails,
and this h said to be the result Of ex-
quisitely careful treatment. The hand
now ID very much considered every
where, indeed, and there il no reason
why both boys and girls should not pay
dainty attentions to theirs. The Ameri-
can hand is more dainty than the Eng
lish hand, Just AZ our feet and joints are
all smaller. We are the race-horse,
they the heavy and stouter animal.
But American finger nails are not SO
beautiful ~ the English finger nails,
which is q feature by itself. English
nails are rosy and shell-like, kept clean
and cut to q rounded but slightly taper
ing point in the center. The skin at
the base Of the nail is carefully pushed
back to show the onyx, or little white
half-moon. With persons who take
great care Of the nail the onyx develops
every day more and more. It is always
observable in a well-kept English
finger nail.
The perpetual washing Of the hand in
England, particularly in London, where
the water is hard, tends to roughen the
hand, 80 that young girls sometimes
wear dog-skin gloves or prepared
French gloves at night to soften the
hand. Glycerine and rosewater, cold
cream and washing the hands with
almond powder are all resorted to
abroad for identifying the hand.
The American nail is apt to be dry
and to break easily. vaseline rubbed
on the nail after washing the hands will
do q world of good to dry nails. It is
well. if the nails are ugly and grow
badly to follow the English fashion,
and employ a manicure for . time.
These adroit professionals first battle
the hand a long time in hot water, then
with scissors and knives clean and cut
the nails, remove the superfiuous skin
about the onyx, then polish the nails
with . buckskin and fine powder, wash.
ing the hand again in hot water with
soap then drying them carefully they
polish the nails with a fine brush.
Again they rub the nails with o rosy
nnguent to give them o fine tint and
then with the hand to suggest a R""i-
like polish.
Since the new science Of leading char
acter by the Handwriting mas come IN 1t
is even said tbs4 ,ne care OF a nails
Affects IT, Handwriting. The long
aIm~Id-shaped nail is a great support
o the middle finger which guides the
pen. One can hardly imagine o person
with neglected finger nails writing the
long, graceful English hand which is
Characteristic of the great ladies of
London. In old times, when Queen
Anne bit her finger nails, the English
nail was not what it is now. All Queen
Victoria's uncles had finely shaped
hands and almond finger nails; perhaps
that brought them into fashion, FASH
ion exerts q potent influence on man,
savage or civilized. But no girl should
ever use bismutl, or any pigment, to
make her hands artificially white, for
that fills in the pores Of the skin, and is
dirty and dangerous. Vide AUake.

How His Service Ended.

Joseph Mcclellan, an engineer or the In

other day to a friend: III I get over this
day all right l shall complete my thirty
years on the road" A few minutes later
he placed an oil can with a sharp nozzle on
the step Of the engine, went to get up into
the cab, missed his footing, and in falling
struck the nozzle of the can, which pene-
trated the skull behind the ear. In two
hours he was dead. He was 76 years old.
